I'm sure your teacher gave you a more detailed assignment. You've "cherry-picked" in an attempt to disguise the homework aspect and, while doing so, have really confused the issue. Answered by 34th B.G. - USAAF - Fri Sep 5 14:28:59 2008 What's happening at the Eurasian/North American plate boundary? Q. I've been doing a bit of online research and can find no clear answer. Many maps that show plate boundary motions leave the boundary between the Eurasian Plate and the North American Plate blank. Can this boundary be classified as convergent, divergent, or transform? Asked by Comstock - Wed May 7 10:29:00 2008 - - 1 Answers - 1 Comments A. One the east side of the North American Plate, it has divergent boundary. On the West side there are divergent boundaries, transform boundaries and convergent boundaries. So you could say that all of the answers apply. Take a look at the pangea.standard, edu power point display. It will answer most of your questions. In google I used "diffuse plate boundary asian north american " for my search terms. Lots of good references come up. The pangea stanford file is one of the best I have seen. If you cann't run powerpoint, let me know and I will convert it to a self running file.
